Update on David Stone-he is staying at Oklahoma

Not to be that guy but I’ll be surprised this defense reaches “very good ” level. DL and LB rooms have not improved from last year. Secondary looks better but still need a safety and nickel.
So what everybody else is saying about the d-line is a lie? You are the only one who keeps saying the d-line isn’t good. Brantley is at nickel
 
Setting the precedent for other players to enter the transfer portal, possibly as position groups to get group raises. What happens for instance if the entire wide receiver room enters the portal? Or the entire secondary? Or the entire team?
I think you need a hard and fast rule that the portal is one-way. Once you enter, you’re not coming back.
 
Average experience of 1.5 years seems really low. I don’t know where to find that data but I’d be curious how that compares with the playoff teams from last year. A roster that is balanced by class would be 2.5.
Exactly. It’s not just about talent. It’s about older talent. Juniors seniors, Rs seniors.

Teams that have been building elite talent for 4 or 5 years.

You’re missing Marquise Lightfoot

Elias Rudolph is in the transfer portal, and Anthony Campbell graduated
 
If only our fans were coaches.....The job for Head Coach and DL Coach and Recruiting Coordinator was open, why didnt anybody from the board apply since they know how to do it.

A lot of Hindsight people in our fanbase!!!!

After an incompletion, they would of ran it!!!

After getting stopped for a shirt gain, they would of thrown it!

After a blitz missed tackle, they would sat in zone and played whats in front!

Lather, rinse, repeat!!!

Texas played in the NC two years ago with a really young team. Less than two years of average CFB experience - don’t have the numbers in front of me.

In fairness, the only impact Mario’s higher HS recruiting rankings had on last years offense was at RT and RB2
That’s fair, but the transfer portal and NIL have made it a totally different world from even the last year of Manny. All coaches have HS recruiting misses. However in the past we would have rostered those misses for considerably longer until we could backfill with new HS recruits. Mario’s done a good job - fantastic at quarterback - in backfilling in the portal.
 
I think people have to factor in the NIL era. Its going to absolutely rare to hold on to all your HS recruits for 3 to 4 years. Thus your portal access will seem plentiful. In the grand scheme of things all teams are struggling to keep players.
